Shout out to the employee who interrupted to accuse Microsoft of war crimes!

And 5 million today is only half a million in purchasing power two generations ago. And even less three generations ago.

So basically we are talking about middle class as it used to be defined. Problem in the USA is, very few people now have this money; so quite rightly it seems out of reach for many

It would be great if more nationalists and the patriots actually put in effort to change the USA in their neighborhoods, they don’t have to be leftists.

Until then such people are obstacles, even if they get outraged over stuff like in OP news article

No politician in California is going to criticize the lack proper vote counting techniques in the USA states that caused this harm. This is because Californian leadership is in thrall to the oligarchs.

Also the man saying this is not the type of person to get out of the safe zone.

I’m not quite sure why people are thinking anything significant can or will happen. The United States cannot change at all

And that is why I am going to clean up on the betting markets. More seriously, anyone thinking of this exchange only need compare exit polls for all the states, in general and primaries.

I remember when exit polls used to be talked about a lot in the 1970s. But I think most people reading will be puzzled about why I harp on a type of polling.

Likewise I think finding exit poll results might be challenging these days in the USA. Which is a pity, indeed

You would be correct if the majority of USA states fairly counted the ballots. But if not, there is no reason to prevent a double chamber majority. In fact, it’s necessary then, because it derails paper ballot efforts.

This is a long game, so to speak. There will still be dem presidents later too.

What people who decry fascism tend to overlook is that the country has not been a democracy for a while. This is all theater on a grand scale, for decades, and we are the audience

They did not have computerized voting back then, it was paper ballots mostly. Until then I fully expect the same voting patterns as the last generation to continue; yes, democrats will win more at the mid terms. No, little will change. I fully expect democrats to win solid majorities in both houses in 2026.

Americans, as a group, should look at exit polls and understand them, and use paper ballots as the rule, not the exception. Until then, it’s just an oligarchy. And they don’t have our backs .

But I don’t think it will change any time soon

It’s still slanting news as the business as normal, both sides approach, that was so common up to recently.

It stands out now ; very noticeable

Well, I don’t think he should advertise that; but then again these people are more like politicians than leaders.

And the mention of his ribbon. I know many here sympathize with that, but peoples who care about the Palestinian cause will see that poorly, and react poorly indeed.

It’s a poor choice in his public relations to do that after such a successful speech

after much bad his approval should sink 5 more points.

I am influenced by both and control none, bobbing along the waves of misinformation and mismanagement like a cork in the ocean .

Hi, I am a poor joke.

few people know that or will understand it; it’s been tarnished by the foundation.

If I were managing thunderbird, I would do a rebrand because I am not the first or last person to make that mistake ; there are tens of millions of me

The true news story will be when there are no follow up filibusters

Just for argument’s sake, it’s easier to change the behavior of one mismanaged foundation than the broken news cycles

Few know how things are structured. Or more importantly, how it could be restructured later.

It’s Ironic the United States will be hoisted on its own petard. The unchecked powers that helped allow financial dominance for years is now a weapon against itself.

But can’t be helped because there is a lot of money to be squeezed out of this country. Which now that I think about it, resembles a piggy bank ready for slaughter
